While isopods can sequester heavy metals within their bodies, this is a temporary solution. Upon their death and decomposition, the heavy metals are released back into the soil, so they do not permanently remove these contaminants from the environment.
You just know some weirdo millionaire is gonna try and train them to go eat heavy metal and shit someplace useful.
And I’m not even mad, probably the most environmentally friendly mining operation…
I don’t recommend anyone buy any of them, but one of the books (or possibly short stories? It’s been a while) in the Ender series by OSC kind of touches on that.
You shouldn’t eat precious minerals little loot bug!
This is one of my all time favourite comics thanks for posting x
Are isopods the scientific name for pill bugs, aka roly-polies?
Isopod (Isopoda) is the order they are in.
Armadillidium vulgare is a common species. But there are probably hundreds of species that share the same nickname because most people don’t know the differences.
So it’s the isopods’ fault that the band sold out. They were much cooler when they were underground.
